Michael Jackson has passed away.
Quote:
We've just learned Michael Jackson was taken by ambulance to a hospital in Los Angeles ... and we're told it was cardiac arrest and that paramedics administered CPR in the ambulance.

He was picked up at his home around 20 minutes ago -- we're told his mother is on the way to visit him.

UPDATE: The 911 call came in at 12:21PM at his Holmby Hills home in L.A.

Oh Geez. This isn't good.

I hope he recovers, too. Heart attacks suck big time because they can happen to anybody.

TMZ is reporting that he died. But there's no other reports saying it so it's just a rumour for now.

He is reported to have died.

I am unsure what to think of him as a person, but it's not my place to judge. In any case it's sad to see a musical legend go. RIP Michael.

I'm watching it on CNN right now. So far, they haven't mentioned him dying. Just being hospitalized with cardiac arrest.

Still not official, pre Fox News....but I know how some of you feel about that network.

CNN also still says he's just in the hospital.
